JumpStart Server Operation Manual 1

020-101018-01 Rev. 1 (04/13)

Introduction

This manual provides information and procedures for operating,

servicing, and repairing the JumpStart server. Only Christie accredited

service technicians are authorized to service and repair the JumpStart

server.

JumpStart software is designed to work with Christie MicroTiles, but it

can also be used with Christie rear-projection and flat panel solutions.

JumpStart software manages tiled displays with up to four video inputs.

You can display multiple media files, Microsoft Windows applications, and

live video on a 5-10 megapixel digital canvas.

Safety Warnings and Guidelines

To make sure you remain safe, read and observe all warnings and

precautions before you service the JumpStart server.

General Precautions

• To prevent physical injury or equipment damage, it is

important that you read

Specifications on page 19 in its

entirety before performing any service procedure covered

in this manual.

• Do not modify any circuit.

• Disconnect ALL power to the JumpStart server before

servicing.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in death or

serious injury.

To reduce the risk of injury from a hot component, allow the

surface to cool before touching.

Introduction

020-101018-01 Rev. 1 (04/13)

Power Precautions

Installation Considerations

• A power cord is included with your JumpStart server.

Before operating the JumpStart server make sure that you

are using a power cord, socket, and power plug rated for

your location.

• Use only an AC power cord recommended by Christie. Do

not attempt operation if the AC supply and cord are not

within the specified voltage and power range.

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cords. Locate

the server where the cord cannot be damaged by persons

walking on it or objects rolling over it.

• Never operate the server if a power cable appears

damaged.

• Do not overload power outlets and extension cords as this

can result in fire or shock hazards.

• Ensure the equipment is properly connected to the supply

circuit and follow equipment ratings to avoid overloading

the circuits.

• Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be

maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply

connections rather than direct connections to the branch

circuit.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in death or

serious injury.

• When installing the JumpStart server in a closed or multi-

unit rack assembly, the ambient temperature cannot

exceed 35°C (95°F). The maximum ambient temperature

limit applies to installations at elevations of 1525m (5000

feet) or lower. For installations above 1525m (5000 feet),

lower the temperature by 1°C (1.8°F) for every additional

305m (1000 feet) of elevation.

• To allow unrestricted airflow around the JumpStart server,

maintain a distance of 15.24cm (6 inches) or greater

between the server and walls or other obstructions.

• When installing the JumpStart server in a rack, avoid

uneven mechanical loading to reduce the risk of personal

injury or equipment damage.

Introduction

JumpStart Server Operation Manual 3

020-101018-01 Rev. 1 (04/13)

JumpStart Server Symbols

These symbols can appear on the JumpStart server:

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

Symbol Precaution

Indicates the presence of hazardous energy

circuits or electrical shock hazards.

Indicates that the area contains no user or field

serviceable parts and electrical shock hazards

may be present.

When present near an RJ-45 receptacle,

indicates a network interface connection.

Indicates the presence of a hot surface or hot

component. Contact with the hot surface may

cause personal injury.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic

components, such as the system board, CPU and modules.

ESD damage can shorten a component's life expectancy or

render it useless.

Follow these precautions to reduce the risk of ESD damage to

components:

• Ground yourself to the server chassis and ground the

chassis to a proper ground point when working with a

static-sensitive component or assembly.

• If possible, work on a grounded surface like a mat.

• Keep electrostatic-sensitive components in their static-safe

packaging until you are ready to install.

• Always avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.

JumpStart Server Operation Manual 5

020-101018-01 Rev. 1 (04/13)

Install and Manage the

JumpStart Server

This section provides information and procedures for installing and

connecting your JumpStart server to a display wall.

A display wall with one ECU and a single row of MicroTiles cannot contain

more than 15 MicroTiles.

The EDID resolution of a single MicroTile subarray might be set so that

the incoming signal is larger than the native resolution of the MicroTile

(720x540 pixels). This could result in cropped images and videos. To

make sure the entire incoming signal is displayed, use the master ECU

web interface to set the EDID values manually.

Before You Begin

Before you start your installation:

• Turn the display wall and master ECU on.

• Select a location for the JumpStart server that has access to power

and can be connected to the display wall.

• Select a location for the server that has unrestricted airflow so that

the maximum temperature of 35°C (95°F) is not exceeded.

• If mounting the server in a rack, avoid uneven mechanical loading.

(Optional rail kit required: 128-100102-01)

• Make sure the MicroTiles installation includes 1 to 6 ECUs, and a

single master ECU.

• Ensure that your network provides Internet access for the

JumpStart server. The MicroTiles Web interface requires Adobe

Flash, which is not pre-installed on the server because of license

restrictions.

Unpack the JumpStart Server

1. Remove the accessories box from the JumpStart server box.

2. Pull the JumpStart server out of the box with the handles on the

upper corners of the server.

3. Remove the keyboard and mouse from the accessories box.

Connect the JumpStart Server to a

Display Wall

The JumpStart server includes an AMD FirePro W600 display module and

6 Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters. With this configuration you can

connect a maximum of 6 display devices to the JumpStart server.

DVI-D connection requires Extended Display Identification Data (EDID),

which is detected at startup.

1. Turn the ECUs and display wall on.

2. Identify the master ECU. A flashing green LED light on the right

side of the back panel identifies the master ECU.

3. Connect the smaller end of each Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter to

the port on the back of the server. Be careful not to insert the

adapters into the connectors the wrong way.

4. Connect the other end of each cable to a DVI extension cable (not

supplied).

5. Connect the extension cable to a display device in any order.

6. Connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB ports on rear of the

JumpStart server.
